“I Identify As A MAN!” Oxford Museum Hides African Mask ‘Not To Be Seen By Women’

Описание к видео “I Identify As A MAN!” Oxford Museum Hides African Mask ‘Not To Be Seen By Women’

An Oxford museum has hidden an African mask because the culture which created it does not allow women to see it.

The Pitt Rivers Museum said the decision was for “cultural safety”. Online photos of the mask, made by the Igbo people in Nigeria, have also been removed.

The artefact is only seen by men in rituals and ceremonies.

Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer gives her take on the decision: “Today I shall be identifying as a man and I’d like to see the mask!”
